I was fiddling with a new monitor this morning and getting @Morgan_Hardwood to help me get things set up (ty again), and while I was testing things I realized that I had never really put my most commonly used color curves out there for folks to use in RT.

So I took a few minutes this morning and translated the curve parameters from my usual GIMP curves, into a curves-only .pp3 for everyone.

These profiles will only modify the Tone Curve, and the R,G, and B curves. So all of your other settings will stay intact and won't be modified (so these can be applied at any stage in your processing. (If you want to undo these changes, simply revert the RGB + Tone curves back to linear).

I see no compelling reason to licence the things so far in that folder under Apache, MIT, GPL, CC-* or anything.

How would any of those licences even apply to a curve?

Is a user seriously expected to ship a copy of a licence or whatever when they want to share a PP3 which uses a curve or a derivative of a curve from there?

And abide by the licence if they move a point of the curve?

Is shipping a copy of the licence supposed to apply when showing photos processed using a PP3 or a derivative of a PP3 from there? Who among us is to judge?

When the PP3s in that folder increase in number and complexity, where is the threshold between a simple its-unrealistic-to-put-a-licence-on-this PP3 and a complex one, who is to draw the distinction?

etc.

Public domain sounds about right.

A simple "In the spirit of freedom, the contents of this folder fall into the public domain. A word of recognition, a link, a thank you, would make their respective authors glad if you use them." would suffice.

@patdavid Yeah I love the cluts that you made I was attempting to replicate them in rawtherapee and can't seem to get them right. I love how it gives the skin tones a more goldeny feel and ...well many other things. Thanks a lot for your time!

Now I'm running RawTherapee 4.2.0, in Debian Stable. I wonder if it has some bug in it that causes the discrepancy between the pp3 and the LUT. Is there some compiled version of a newer version that will run on the Stable ?
